With the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) engulfed in bloodshed and terrorism due to the secretive occupation and expansion by the Rwandan regime of Paul Kagame, Congo's President Joseph Kabila has reportedly requested an immediate emergency military intervention from Belgium to crush a growing rebellion sparked by resistance forces in the far Western Congo.

But the United Nations Observers Mission in Congo (MONUC) has downplayed the new rebellion and hidden civilian casualties.

A rising alliance calling themselves "The Resistance Patriots of Dongo" (Patriotes-Resistants de Dongo) has gained currency and recruits after Congolese people learned that the Dongo resistance forces were fighting against Rwandan Tutsi troops in the little frontier town of Dongo.

Sources in Congo's capital Kinshasa report that an emergency "crisis" meeting was convened in Brussels on Friday, Nov. 28, 2009, after a distress call was sent by Congo-Kinshasa President Hypolitte Kanambe, known to the Western world by his alias, Joseph Kabila Kabange. According to intelligence sources, the Belgian military attache in Kinshasa has been instructed to lay the groundwork for the arrival of a detachment of elite Belgian Armed Forces (BAF) paratroopers.

Sources in Kinshasa report that in mid-November President Joseph Kabila secretly airlifted a battalion of Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF) across Congo to put down the small rebellion. The operation involved multiple flights in November and was supported by the United Nations Observer Mission in Congo (MONUC) and the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). The RDF forces, moved to Congo from Rwanda exclusively for the operation, were uniformed as Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) troops.
